A capricious appetite, heartburn. puzzling

among the successive indicia of this har-

being adopted, a cure is certain. Taken
Immediately before or after meals, this

consequent upon chronic Indigestion dis
appear, as the complaint gradually yields
to the corrective and invigorating infiu-

sleep becomes more refreshing. and as a
sequence, the body is efficiently nourished.

The scIrows OF the silk umbrella have ut
last attracted attention, and full directions
nre given for its protection. 1t seems as IL
common sense would teach a few things, but
it does not seem to. To begin with, a moist
umbrella should eyer he allowed to dry rolled
up, either being cohapfetely open resting ON
the floor or closed with the silk loose. II an
umbrella is rolled when perfectly dry, keeping
it in the case does it no injury, general belief
to the contrary notwithstanding. How TO
roll an umbrella so that it will be graceful and
sleek looking is really something of a task. To
do this well take the umbrella by the handle
in your right hand, shake out the folds, then
with the left hand smooth down each fold,
then grasp the handle at the base aud roll the
silk around the stick, working up to the tape
with the left hand. Fasten. BY following
these directions old age and usefulness may
be the fate of your umbrella, even us we hope

The monument to Gen. Albert Sidney
Johnston, which was recently unveiled at
New Orleans, is one of the comparatively few
equestrian statues in the country, some OF
the others being in honor of Washington,
Scott, jackson, Thomas, Mcpherson and
Bolivar. Tho statue to Gen. Johnston cost
$4,000, $1,000 Of which sum was contrib
uted by members OF the Army of the Tennes-
see, who regard Gen. Johnston's bravery and
chivalry, as displayed on the Confederate side
during the civil war, with loving enthusiasm.
The general rode n Lexington stallion when
he died at Shiloh, and the grandson of the
horse was used in securing the action of the
horse IN the statue.
Six horses were employed i'll getting a cor
rect model. 1he statue is the work of Mr..
Doyle, the well known sculptor, and his work
is spoken of as highly successful.
The feature of the unveiling was the speech
made by jefferson Davis, which has already
been amply reported by the telegraph.

mans ankle, then another high one, very
swiftly thrown, and next a gentle "coaxer,"
which strikes a few feet in front of the
"crease line" and if great care is not cxer-
cised, pops gently up against the stumps,
knocking off the balls with the result Of an
out. To illustrate how a man may he put
out: If the striker should not succeed in
getting within his "crease line" before the
wicketkeeper catches the ball and knocks the
balls Off from across the tops of the stumps
shown in the picture, he will be out.
In baseball, almost everything depends
upon the "battery," i. e., the pitcher and
catcher. 1t was this fact more than any
other which brought about the recent changes
in the rules. In cricket it is even worse, az
the bowler is the mainstay of the "outs," and
while good fielding is necessary, still a bats.
man would scarcely ever be put out without
n slillful and dexterous bowler.
One thing about cricket which strikes base
ball devotees as being peculiar, is that two
umpires are always chosen, both acting at

the same time, but each one passing upon
questions at issue Mt his end OF the
game. Another thing, too, seems rather
odd. Whereas in baseball every man has
a certain position on the field, no one in
rrinlSst except the bowler and wicketkeeper
ever stand in the same spot for any two bats
men in succession, but range themselves about
the field in any place where, in their opinion,
the ball is likely to fall when hit. Cricket
has never become n favorite with Americans,

ACADEMY PICTURES.
A visit to tho sixty-sooond spring FIX.
hIbitioRN

hibitioHrN
A morning at the academy while the cS-
hibition is now is not without a peculiar
charm. The artists whose pictures are there
are drawn 10 it irrcsistibly during the first
week. They are still breathing the atmus-
phere of a fresh victory and must needs
haunt the place of glory. 1t cannot always
be pleasant for them to hear the comments
of visitors OH their work, but it may some
times do them good, ON the principle that
bitter things are often tonics. The sixty
second spring exhibition at the National Acad-
envy OF Design opened in New York on the
LIST of the month and will continue until May
IA. A general cry of rejoicing goes up from
the critics of the press on the excellence
Of the exhibition and the new depart
ure taken by the academy. 1t has been
doing some wedding, and the result is consid-
cred very happy. This is universally pro-
nounced the best exhibition which has been
held for many a year. Many stones were
rejected by the builders Out of 100 works
they accepted only sos paintings and pieces
of sculpture. Artists of all schools and all
ages have been accepted, and the genius of
fair play has been more active than usual.
Some of the younger artists find themselves
in conspicuous centers and other coveted
places. The exhibition is smaller than usual,
n fact which is gratifying to bothythe artists

large quantities has n happy effect.
A little picture called stubborn, by Lewis
Moeller, has n preferred place in the large
south gallery, and deserves it. 1t represents
three old village lawyers in a wrangle over
some knotty point of law. Each one is sure
he is right and is enforcing his opinion on the
others with violent gesture and fearful facial
expression. They have torn the cloth off the
table, have slammed a lot of old books on the
floor and are in the very highest pitch offury.
The picture is at once a story and a repre-
sentation. 1t is, too. one Of the new depar-
lures in subject which artists are taking hold
of, and is refreshing after the simpering
maids and meaningless figures they have SO
long provided for us.
Another picture that has a conspicuous
place and has already received much Gatter-
ing attention is a battle scene by Gilbert Gaul.
entitled "With Fate Against Them" 1t de-
picts u handful of Confederate soldiers in
desperate combat with overwhelming Union
forces. They are in rags Of many shades,
worn with long fighting, and without the
~faintest hope of victory; but they are holding
their ground and fighting with an energy that
makes the scene glorious. The Confederate
flag is held high in the brawny arms of the
color bearer, while nearly every man around
him is on the ground wounded, but loading
and aiming at the enemy, with the light OF
battle blazing in his eyes and n look of death
less determination in his haggard face. A

unless one is put last to give it n sharp accent
or Jog the attention; and as the Importance
of the words varies in different minds, there
ispractically no fixed syntax. Thus, where we
would say, "Did you sell the horse Mt town.

the ball with the club. If he strikes the ball
and it goes to the wicketkeeper, who catches
it on the fly, he is out and must retire. But
if he drives the sphere into the field he runs
for the other wicket, and may make as many
runs rs he dare without taking the risk of be-
ing out of his position after the keeper has
had the ball returned to him. If caught thus
the balls will be knocked off and he Is out.

Win means woman or girl, whether at the

names arc often duplicated, as they are given
either as a description of the person, or in
honor of some event near the date of birth,
or OF some achievement, or, indeed, for any
other notable fact, and so we find the same
name in different tribes, as Rain-in-the-face,
the noted Sioux, and Rain-in-the-face, a
civilized Cree of Manitoba. North of
Fort Totem are the Turtle Noun
ain half breeds, just now involved in
some trouble with the local authorities in re
gard to the payment of taxes. They inherit
from their French ancestors a very polite
bearing and from the Chippeways a stolid
and unprogresSive temper. They still retain
the old ways, especially the Bots Brule cart,
made entirely of wood and drawn by one Ok.

pet theory in the United States that the
southern Indians were the more amenable to
civilization, such as the Cherokees, Choc-
taws aud Pueblos, for instance; but Canada's
experience with the Crees and the good
sisters success with the Sioux have certainly
exploded that theory.
